## Description
In Goblins, Inc., you play as an ambitious goblin trying to become the new boss of a corporation that builds giant doomsday robots. The unique gameplay mixes cooperation and betrayal: you form temporary teams with other players to design and pilot destructive robots, but each has secret objectives to impress the Boss. Get ready for intense rounds of strategic dice rolling, assembling tiles into crazy combinations, and battles where teamwork is just a facade – because in the end, only one goblin can come out victorious. The game plays with the typical goblin greed, creating hilarious situations where everyone collaborates... until the backstabbing begins. With simple mechanics but complex decisions, each match becomes an organized chaos full of laughs and twists.

## FAQ
### Ideal player count?
Best with 4, allowing more alliances and betrayals. Works well with 3 but loses some team dynamics.

### Is luck a big factor?
Dice rolling matters, but strategic decisions on robot building and when to betray balance it out.

### Hard to learn?
Rules are simple (medium weight), but the strategy of when to cooperate vs sabotage adds depth.

### Need a board?
No, the game uses assembled robot pieces on the table as a dynamic 'board' during battles.

### Any sensitive content?
Typical goblin dark humor (greed, betrayal) but nothing graphic. Teen-friendly.

### Actual playtime?
The 60min estimate is accurate, with fast-paced, frenetic matches. Game has quick rhythm.
